Returning Resident Housing

Want To Live on-campus again next year?

Students who currently live in University Housing are eligible to participate in the Returning Resident Housing process for the following academic year.

Rooms are reserved for returning students in Stockwell, North Quad and Northwood III, and in Michigan Learning Community spaces. You'll also have the chance to sign up for 5-8-person suites. Spots are limited and we can't guarantee a particular type of room will be available.

What’s My “Priority”?

Eligible students who register will receive a selection time slot based on the number of complete semesters (terms) they have lived in University Housing:

Housing Sign-Up 2017-2018

Priority Brackets

Highest Priority (selects first)

2 or fewer terms

Second Priority

3-4 terms

Third Priority

5-6 terms

Lowest Priority (selects last)

7 or more terms

Students are randomly placed within each priority bracket. Students with later selection times will have significantly fewer choices. Even if you are in the highest priority bracket, you may not get your preferred building or neighborhood.

Room and Roommate Selection

The student with the lowest priority determines the overall priority for roommate assignments.

Roommate requests must be mutual to be given the same time slot

The Roommate Finder will be available starting January 9, 2017

New incoming students and those currently living off campus cannot be selected as roommates
